Rom 4
1 Te koinih pumsa ah a pa Abraham loh a hmuh te metla n'thui uh eh?
What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
2 Abraham he khoboe loh tang sak koinih thangpomnah a khueh, Tedae Pathen taengkah moenih,
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
3 Te dongah cacim loh balae a thui? Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
4 A saii dongkah thapang te lungvatnah la n'nawt pawt vetih a laiba banghui ni te.
Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
5 Saii pawt dae baltalh aka tang sak kung soah a tangnah vaengkah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
6 David long pataeng khaw, “Khoboe kah voelah Pathen loh duengnah la a nawt pah hlang te tah yoethennah ni,” a ti.
As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
7 Olaeknah loh a hlah tih a tholh a muekdah pah rhoek te tah a yoethen uh.
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Boeipa loh tholh a nawt pah voel pawt hlang te tah a yoethen,
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
9 Tangkhuet la, “He yoethennah tah yahvinrhetnah soah pawt atah pumdul ham a?” n'ti uh vaengah Abraham kah a tangnah te ni duengnah la a nawt pah.
This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
10 Te vaengah metlam a nawt pah? yahvinrhetnah a om vaengah a? Pumdul vaengah a? yahvinrhetnah vaengah pawt tih pumdul vaengah ni.
How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Te dongah yahvinrhetnah he miknoek la a dang te pumdul vaengkah aka tangnah kah duengnah kutnoek ni. Anih te pumdul lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih kah a napa la om sak ham neh amih te khaw duengnah la nawt ham ni ana khueh.
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
12 Te phoeiah, yahvinrhetnah kah pa he, yahvinrhetnah bueng kah pawt tih a pa Abraham pumdul vaeng kah tangnah kholaeh te aka vai rhoek ham khaw a om sak.
And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
13 Abraham neh a tiingan te Diklai rhopangkung la om ham te olkhueng nen pawt tih tangnah kah duengnah nen ni olkhueh a paek.
For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.
14 Olkhueng rhang neh rhopangkung la om koinih, tangnah te tlongtlai tih olkhueh te a hmil coeng.
For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
15 Olkhueng loh thintoek a thoeng sak dae olkhueng a om na pawt ah boekoeknah a om moenih,
For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
16 A lungvatnah vanbangla olkhueh kah tiingan boeih taengah a khangmai la om sak ham khaw tangnah nen ni a om tangloeng. Olkhueng kah tiingan taeng bueng ah pawt tih Abraham kah tangnah kah tiingan taengah khaw a om sak. Amah tah mamih boeih kah napa la om.
Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
17 Namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la nang kan coelh tila a daek tangtae vanbangla anih loh a tangnah hlan ah aka duek rhoek te aka hing sak tih, aka om pawt te aka om bangla aka khue, Pathen te om lamhma coeng.
(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
18 Anih tah a ngaiuepnah voel ah a ngaiuep tih a tangnah dongah namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la om ni tila a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan te om van ni.
Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
19 Kum yacut pakhat lo tih aka duek tangtae amah pum neh Sarah kah bung duekrhok te a poek dae tangnah dongah a thathae pawh,
And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
20 Tedae Pathen kah olkhueh soah hnalvalnah neh boelhkhoeh pawt tih tangnah neh a thaphoh,
In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
21 Pathen te thangpomnah a paek vaengah olkhueh te aka rhoi thai khaw amah ni tila m'ming.
Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
22 Te dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
23 Tedae anih taengah a nawt te amah bueng ham a daek pah moenih,
Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
24 Tedae mamih ham khaw, duek lamkah aka thoo mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh aka tangnah rhoek ham khaw amah te a nawt coeng.
But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
25 Amah te mamih kah tholhdalhnah kongah a voeih tih mamih kah tiktamnah ham a thoh coeng.
Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
